Jeez...

-Simple Choice is NOT eligible. No, your account isn't special. It won't work. You have to change plans

-If you don't walk out of the store w/ the new Iphone in your hand, you will get bill credits. Which means you are stuck for 2 years and the extra you're paying for the line lessens this deal.

-Deal is $500 rebate for 6s phones, $700 for iPhone 7 and beyond. If you have an iPhone 6 or lower, you're getting no rebate. End of story. There are no loopholes or "what ifs".

-Phone screen can't be cracked. Not a "what about a little crack in the corner" comment. It will be rejected. Same goes for "what about a home button not working." Try it, but don't be surprised when it gets rejected. It's your $700 gamble. Stop asking if it will work.

-If your screen is cracked, get it fixed by a 3rd party place before sending in. It's typically less than $100

-Phone can be unlocked after 40 days w/ a request to Tmobile, and then used with any wireless service.

-Can't cancel line until you get your rebate; then go ahead and cancel or port out. Rebate takes 2-3 months to get

-Phone supports dual sim, so put your current ph# on the Esim (just go to a Tmobile store and ask) and the sim card with your new # in the phone. Yes, you can now have 2 numbers on new iPhones. Then you don't risk the phone # not being active while waiting for the rebate.

-If you want a cheap iPhone 7, look on the internet. Don't be lazy. Otherwise try a boost mobile store and read the "instore promo" offers on their website. Some are shady, so ask everything they're charging you for.

-Lastly, don't trust the Costco wireless reps. Hundreds of people here have done this and similar deals. They know better than any rep you will meet, as they've all done these deals.
Please make sure that you buy the phone outright, meaning limited colors and storage options.

My local store didn't have the iPhone 11 in stock and I was told I'd still get the GC rebate. After reading all the paperwork, when I got home, this isn't the case. Had to go back to cancel the line and wait for the phone shipment to arrive to go back and return that (which you have to mail yourself with the label provided). 2 weeks later, EIP is still on my account.
You are talking CRAP.....stop telling untruths.

This is ABSOLUTELY wrong

ANY listed phone, ANY carrier.....as long as its in good condition and not icloud locked

I have a iphone 8 leased with sprint right now. The lease is ending like in a week and it will cost $150 to own it. It's good condition and I'm debating if i should take the risk to pay $150 for the phone and trade in to get iphone 11 for free essentially. I'm planning to switch out from Sprint anyways

Anyone can comment do they really give $700 credit if it's good condition? I don't like how they say "up to $700" and it doesn't make sense iphone 7 would have same trade-in value as iPhone XS Max assuming both are good condition.
your lease ends in a week, but promotion ends 4 days

This is not true. Essentials is eligible, I used it and have the rebate submitted. Attached is the official store memo that shows the plans eligible, I even circled it in red for you.
They told me too the essential is not eligible

Can anyone share what is the minimum period required to maintain a new line with a new account on t-mobile to get the rebate and cancel it? the Costco store rep mentioned 6 months. Also what is their cheapest plan to enroll for?

Sign out of iCloud and turn off 'find my iphone' then erase the passcode.

Easier and recommended... erase all settings and reset

The numbers are right except for the tax (it's typically on the $50, not the full price). And the accessories thing is BS

in the boost store, is this expected:

$50 for phone
$50 for plan
$x for tax (based on $50)
activation fee $25

Activate + port the number --> this can be done once get back to home, or need to be done while at store?

Thank you!

After getting the iphone back from costco, do we still need to redeem the offer online? I try to do it, but get an error with the new IMEI: The device IMEI entered is not eligible for this promotion, please re-enter or contact 1-877-470-3619 for details.
